$66 per person for government employee gym memberships, which probably results in net taxpayer savings due to reduced healthcare costs: government waste.

Agreed... neither expenditure should have taken place.

Well, banks own more Congressmen than EPA employees do, it's to be expected.

Everyone is cheering, but eventually, within the next 20 years or so, the government will have to provide a basic income because human labor capital will be almost completely replaced by technology.

The question is, what will the government decide to do with billions of unemployable people?

The government (which will be completely owned by the billionaire club at that point) will probably kill them with drones.

You think Warren Buffett's grandchildren are going to want to pay taxes to support the billions of "welfare bums"?

Liberals can't think that logically. They don't have the ability. They probably drive 12 miles to save $2 on at item, spending $3 in gasoline!
